Darian & Paula Bebout have been guest artists/woodcarvers at Silver Dollar City for 25+ years and have taught at various seminars around the Midwest. Paula has an art background of 45+ years through many mediums, including woodcarving, wood burning, scrimshawing, painting, pen and ink, antler carving, clay sculpting, and floral arranging. As a realistic artist, she specializes in human realistic, wildlife, and landscapes. When teaching, she enjoys watching each student’s artistic abilities mature as they learn techniques and methods to achieve depth through the use of values. Darian started woodcarving in 1995, applying his woodworking experience and knowledge gained in woodcarving classes back to the art of chip carving, a unique form of woodcarving which originated in northern and Eastern Europe. He loves to teach by sharing lessons learned, explaining why things do or do not work, and solving chip carving problems. He teaches both Old-World and Swiss techniques, which he learned from two master chip carvers.
